We here report statistical analyses of 76 families of integral outer membrane pore-forming proteins (OMPPs) found in bacteria and eukaryotic organelles. 47 of these families fall into one superfamily (SFI) which segregate into fifteen phylogenetic clusters. Families with members of the same protein size, topology and substrate specificities often cluster together. Virtually all OMPP families in...

Abstract: This paper uses the example of Slow Food International (SFI) and its promotion of artisanal cheese to examine how scale is produced around the defense of particular social relations of production. I argue that attempts by SFI to naturalize discursive configurations of rural/local/traditional express a particular politics tied to the anxiety of ‘losing’ imagined rural communities. Howe...

PURPOSE This in-vitro study was designed to evaluate retention forces, microleakage and plastic deformation of a prefabricated 2-implant bar attachment system (SFI-Bar, Cendres+Métaux, Switzerland). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two SFI implant-adapters were torqued with 35 Ncm into two implant analogues. Before the tube bars were finally sealed, the inner cavity of the tube bar was filled with liqui...

This study investigated the effect of frankincense extract on peripheral nerve regeneration in a crush injury rat model. Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control and frankincense extract low-, medium-, and high-dose groups. At days 7, 14, 21, and 28 following the surgery, nerve regeneration and functional recovery were evaluated using the sciatic functiona...

PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the difference in mechanical behavior between two types of female-part clips of the Stress-Free Implant Bar (SFI-Bar) system during simulation of insertion-removal cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 samples simulating SFI-Bar-attachment-retained implant overdentures were fabricated and randomly divided into two groups (n = 5). One group used E-clip...

This paper considers the representativeness of injected error models for ascertaining software defects. Businessand safety-critical systems are more and more relying on software. Therefore, while in the past these systems were mainly threatened by hardware faults, they are today increasingly exposed to software faults, as demonstrated by recent severe software-related accidents [WDS10]. It is a...

radiation-induced lung injury (rili) is one of the most common and severe side effects of thoracic radiotherapy. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches to improve the effectiveness of rili treatment are required. The present study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a traditional chinese medicine regimen, Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFi), in the treatment of rili. SFi is composed of e...
